Three to go!

Jul 08, 2015

I was released after psych eval today!!!! I am seriously started to get excited, all the anxiety(although I'm sure it will be back) is just disappearing. I have three more appointments and as long as everything goes smoothly, I should be completely released by the end of August. My CardioCoach/exercise evaluation is set for August 11th and I'm not really sure what to expect but I am oddly enough really looking forward to it. I am starting to get butterflies in my tummy from all the anticipation. I have a few more questions but honestly I don't know that they can be answered before I go through it myself. I know everyone's experience is a different one and it may be sad to say but some questions are too embarrassing for me to ask, medical professional or not. They aren't life threatening or anything just the ins and outs of how sex, mental illness and life in general might change after surgery. I do have to say though it is extremely difficult for me to not just start counting down until that day! I'm even oddly enough looking forward to being told that I can only have liquids(lol). I'm sure that's a lot harder than it seems right now but I know that once that starts I'll be 14 days away from the rest of my life...and what a fantastic life that's gonna be. Don't get me wrong, I'm fully aware that this isn't magic and it's going to be hard work, but I definitely want to use this tool to start a new, healthier lifestyle. I can't wait to skate, paddleboard, whitewater raft, hike, kayak and anything else that I'll hopefully be small enough to do. I'm so ready! 50 kagillion things on my WLS checklist down, 3 to go!!!!!!
